Canucks4Life123 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Seeing as the Canucks lost to Minnesota we are 6 points behind St. Louis, and have 72 games played. Granted we do have a game in hand, as they have 100 points in 73 GP. If we do win our game on Wednesday, we will be at 96 points.. with 9 games left for both Van and St. Louis. For us to win the west, we would need to gain 7 points on St. Louis in our last 10 games (It is 7 because St. Louis would win if the teams were to tie). I mess around on sportsbook occasionally, making wagers on whatever I think to be a good bet.. and right now, is it a "good bet" that St. Louis will take the west?? For some reason that I must not be aware of, they still have Vancouver as favourites to win the west. St Louis pays off +350 (meaning if you bet 100, you win 350 profit.. so get 450 back). I'm confused as to why St. Louis isn't the favourite yet? Can the Canucks GAIN 7 points on St Louis in their last 10 games?? They have to win at least 2 more games and an OT/Shootout loss to do it. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 They aren't the favourite because the west is too good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistuhMan Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I don't remember a year that Canucks haven't been first in the Western Conference at the end of the season. Then again, I've got a bad memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beluga Whale Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 They aren't favorites because they just are not as good as teams like; Canucks, Wings, Bruins, Rangers, Penguins. The Canucks will NOT catch them as they have way too many more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lateralus Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Or do you mean first in the Northwest Division As for St. Louis they can have first. I see them being taken out first round. Even Calgary can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWhom Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I think you should bet that the Blues will finish first. It would be a good bet at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiun Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Pretty good chance that St Louis could end up first place in the league, even, not just the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 The St. Louis Blues have looked excellent all year. Ken Hitchcock has really brought this team to life, and his system is working wonders. The addition of Jaden Schwartz recently is also great. Brian Elliott, meanwhile, has been absolutely incredible for them. Who knew he would be so stellar in net. If they can bring Vladimir Tarasenko over from Russia, they could be even more frightening next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
